excuse me saying, davie, but there ARE specialist techniques needed to make a well balanced and stable working dropspindle.
there are too many bad ones out there already....

I think there is a sloe bush growing where I live (netherlands ) but I am not sure.
doesn't look like PLUMS at all, but smaller...which is what I was expecting
how can I tell for sure?

Re: Does anyone NOT have a television?
I still have a tv.
My youngest (18) left home last week.
Since then haven't watched a lot.....
Considering giving up tv. Will I be able to handle that? I will miss BBC (am in netherlands) which has the only worthwhile programmes......

how to make honey liqueur?
has someone on this board maybe a reliable recipe for honey liqueur to make?
of course there are sources on the web, usually involves vodka and a pound of honey but I'd like something with more complex flavors.

Re: a different magazine? which one?
jerry, I don't agree with you that we can find the other 10% online anyway. if you look at what HF writes...it IS different. and I do buy the books anyway as far as I want them.....its just nice to have a magazine each month, that reminds who of who you are and what you dream of, and encourages you ...
